Only last week, amazing companies at TTTR promised to deliver projects that could be sold on the market for over $0.5M. 8 great Nonprofits will turbocharge their impact thanks to these companies. Is there a better way to start the new week? Kudos to the whole Tech To The Rescue for creating an environment in which world class talent wants to use their superpowers to solve social problems! This is the magic of TTTR model and humans of TTTR. Next threshold - Million dollar of value in a week! Streaver KwargLab Commutatus Prescott Data Salus CM Zubair 👏👏👏 💜🧡

Dear network, Last Saturday, we had the first edition of our Sustainability Conference 'Green Horizons', and what a success it was! We would like to thank everyone who participated, we hope you had an incredible day!! Below, you can read all about what activities we did during the day and who contributed to making this an amazing event 🥳 The morning was filled with interesting workshops and sessions from our partners on the topics of renewable energy 🌱, rising sea level protection 🌊, and space technologies🚀. We would like to thank the following people and companies for their insightful sessions in the morning: Esther Roosenbrand PhD candidate, Yi-En (Ian) Lin and Alberto Poli from Biosphere Solar, Reda Meftahi and Maud van Ees from Survintel, Claire Michaud van der Wal from TNO, Marnix Laanen from Water Insight, and Pavithra Raghunathan from CGI Nederland! After lunch, we engaged during a panel discussion 🎤 on how space technologies and satellite data contribute to combating climate change, facilitated by our one of our own members Renzo Russel. Many thanks to Claire Michaud van der Wal, Reda Meftahi, Pavithra Raghunathan, and Denis Khansa from Telespazio Belgium to join the conversation and give us innovative perspectives from the field 🛰️ The last activity of the schedule was our interactive quiz ❓. Marie-Anne de Gier from GreenTU | Green TU Delft tested our knowledge on the different projects that GreenTU works on at the moment 💚. The second quiz master was Matteo Manieri from Telespazio Belgium who challenged our knowledge on space technologies for decarbonization 🛰️. They gave a price to the participant that had the most correct answers! This event was not possible without our amazing main organiser Alexander de Vet, who worked on the conference for multiple months, together with his core team. The core team consisted out of Matei Chirita (topic responsible), Kudrat Paramjit (Public Relations responsible), and Leon Braszczyński (logistics responsible). Major thanks to you guys!! 💪 Finally, we would like to thank our Local Board; Bogdan Buzatu, Andreas Boghaert, Oscar Kriebel, and Lisabeth Huysentruyt; and all our members for their support during the preparations and execution of the event! As we all know: "Teamwork makes the dream work" 🤜🤛👏 See you all again next year! 🥳🌱

🗨️ When we talk about the future of food, we also look to the distant future, which includes: Going into space. 🚀 How do we survive on a planet like Mars, and can we become self-sufficient there? Can we build a self-sufficient agricultural system? Yesterday, we attended the event: Agronautics. This event merged space and agri-food topics. There were interesting discussions about the future of living on a planet like Mars and how we can grow our own food in such places. But the talks were not limited to just space implications. No. The resulting closed-loop systems to produce food, water, and oxygen from mission wastes can also enhance sustainability on our own planet. We discussed how techniques developed for space missions are now benefiting greenhouse growers by reducing CO2 emissions and enabling smart farming using satellite data. And of course, we tasted real space food! 😋 What an interesting event! Thanks for co-hosting, ESA Technology and OnePlanet Research Center, and to the expert speakers: Skytree, Spacefood, Metalot, Aardvark Sensing BV, SEMiLLA IPStar, B.A.S.E., ReThink Food Challenge, University of Alcalá. #spacefood #space #futureoffood #agriculture
